In this edition of Eye on Africa: The continent’s gearing up for ‘Super Sunday’, with elections being held in the Congo, Niger, Benin, Senegal, Tanzania.
It’s something of a ‘Super Sunday’ in terms of elections in Africa this weekend – with several votes taking place…
Opposition candidates in Congo-Brazzaville say they’re expecting widespread fraud as long-term president Denis Sassou-Nguesso seeks re-election again… He’s been in power there for 32 of the past 37 years.
Niger is gearing up to hold its first ever run-off vote for president. Tensions are running high ahead of the polls… The opposition has already said it won’t recognise the results; they’re boycotting this second round.
Plus Benin is holding the second round of its presidential election, and Senegal will be holding a referendum on whether to reduce presidential terms from seven years to five. On the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, security forces have been deployed ahead of a re-run of October’s presidential vote – which was cancelled after the election commission said voting laws were violated.
